Nighttime Beatings... not what you think!

Landon this last week has gotten the winter cold that's going around. Because of this, he constantly is waking up during the night and climbing into bed with me. So when he does try sleeping with me, I take him back into his bed soon after... well after a couple of nights of doing that time and time again and it not working (and me hating to get up that many times), I have just allowed him to sleep with me.

Last night after I went to bed at 2am because of sitting up and chatting to my roommate till the wee hours of the morning, I layed down and Landon went from the normal position in bed - head on pillow and feet pointed towards bottom of the bed - to the opposite position. You guess it all right! All night long, Landon was kicking me in the face. Finally I just rolled over so that if he did end up moving (which happened every 5 minutes) he wouldn't kick me in the face. I tried to change his position, but he liked to have his head on the mound of blankets and elevated with his feet on my pillow... so that's how we slept last night. It was interesting and I hope that tonight and the rest of the week goes better. Poor kid has trouble sleeping at night because of the cough he has. I hate it when he gets sick, I just want to take it away from him and suffer through that for him... But because I can't, I use the humidifier, vick's vapor rub and cough medicine as well as warm baths.

Korben has that same stupid cough and was in bed 3 times with me last night. Today we got a prescription cough medicine, so hopefully it will help his sleeping tonight.

Good Luck!

Augh...we've got it too. There is NO way I could sleep with Brooklyn though. I would get so annoyed, lol. BUT, she is up 4 times a night screaming, "I need a drink of medicine!" or "My throat needs some medicine!" sigh...
